Conservation and ecological restoration in New Zealand

Pacific Conservation Biology, 1995
The introduction of alien species to New Zealand's terrestrial ecosystems has caused rapid loss of native biodiversity since human settlement. Faced with this crisis, conservation managers and scientists have responded by developing innovative techniques such as translocation of native animals and the eradication of introduced mammals from islands.

Parasitic biodiversity is focussed as a key component of conservation targets based on their ecological roles in the present review. Arthropods adopt parasitism as one of the common strategies for survival. However, some parasites are threatened by not only direct factors such as environmental conditions but also by indirect ones such as the effect on ...

Ecological restoration as a strategy for conserving biological diversity

Environmental Management, 1988
Though the restoration of disturbed ecosystems has so far played a relatively modest role in the effort to conserve biological diversity, there are reasons to suspect that its role will increase and that its contribution to the maintenance of diversity will ultimately prove crucial as techniques are further refined and as pristine areas for ...
